Then-Congresswoman Giffords was meeting with constituents when a gunman killed six people and wounded 13 others.

Speaking in front of doctors and caregivers, Kelly shared the story of how difficult his wife’s recovery has been.

“Her career ended. Things she found so easy to do are now a struggle every single day. Much like what every person with a traumatic brain injury experiences,” said Kelly.

After his speech, the retired astronaut signed copies of his book.

“As speech therapists, the treatment his wife received resonates with us. Just getting to hear about her progress and to hear about his perspective as a husband and caregiver was really great,” said Cara Chung, a speech pathologist.

Kelly has bought a AR-15 assault rifle in Tucson several weeks ago..
My friend was in the store, he saw Kelly sneaking arround like Pink panther in the dark.
He did not think he would get cought. but a store worker called the media.

He bought it, so he says, to show how easy it was to purchase a Personal Defense Weapon (PDW). Well, yeah, he's a law abiding citizen! He also bought a .45 cal handgun. The AR15, so he says, was going to be turned over to the local Sheriff.
